Pre-requisite: BIO1203

Overview

This course builds on relevant knowledge developed from BIO1203 Human Anatomy and Physiology 1 that introduced to the structure and function of human cells, tissues and organ systems. BIO1206 Human Anatomy and Physiology 2 will provide novel, cutting edge physiological knowledge that will be complemented with practical activities. These will offer students experiences with experimental techniques used in modern physiology and will help them to put theory into practice. The knowledge gained from this course provides a foundation for further study in a number of health-related discipline areas.

An organ systems approach is used in this course to study anatomy and physiology and to explain how this relates to health and common pathologies and their pharmacological treatments in the context of disease, trauma and exercise. This course provides further, in depth information from six topics that were undertaken in BIO1203 Human Anatomy and Physiology 1. The topics covered in BIO1206 Human Anatomy and Physiology 2 include cell physiology and the musculoskeletal, cardiovascular, respiratory, nervous and endocrine systems. These topics will be reviewed and extended to topics on cutting edge and current research.

This course contains a mandatory residential school for external students and mandatory on-campus laboratories or practical classes for on-campus students.

Course learning outcomes

On successful completion of this course students should be able to:

  1. Describe the structural and operational processes of anatomical structures and their inter-relationships and how these relate to health, disease, trauma and exercise.
  2. Apply anatomical terms to describe position, movement, body direction, regions, body planes or sections.
  3. Identify anatomical landmarks and musculoskeletal structures from surface anatomy.
  4. Describe the physiological functions of human cells in signal transduction, regulation of gene expression, transport, excitability, transmission and homeostasis.
  5. Demonstrate an understanding of the structure and physiological function of the various organ systems (both individually and collectively).
  6. Measure basic physiological parameters, perform basic analyses, and interpret the data, taking into account the limitations of the methodology on the conclusions that can be drawn.
